Summer is only 17 days away! Don’t panic, we’ve got you covered with the up and coming fashion trends to prepare you for this summer. Seasons come and go, but people fail to realize their clothes need to come and go too. It’s time to stock up on the hottest summer essentials and throw your jeans and cardigans to the back of your closet. We know it’s tough to let go of your favorite fall outfits, but someone needed to tell you!

You can’t go into this summer without a pair of reliable shoes for every outfit. These Adidas are a casual white shoe that elevates every casual outfit! Pair these with a plain tee and some shorts, and you’re ready to meet your buddies out for brews and burgers.

Remember that plain tee I was talking about? Well here it is! We’re not talking about any plain white t-shirt from Walmart. Loose fitting tees are in this summer, maybe to hide the summer body you forgot to prepare for? But no matter, stock up on multiple colors of loose fitting cotton shirts to interchange with your outfits!

That’s right, jorts. Jorts might seem like a far stretch, but be the person that people are admiring for making them work this summer. This pair from H&M has the perfect amount of distress to look trendy, and not trashy. Throw out the over sized cargo’s, and get yourself a pair (or two) of jean shorts to rock this summer!

Everyone should have a watch that they refer to as ‘ole reliable. Grab a styled watch like this you can throw on with any outfit! You’re never fully dressed without a.. smile? No, watch. And a watch like this is sure to go with almost every outfit and add a sense of style.

Summer is coming, whether you believe it or not. Nobody wants to be stuck outside in the bright sunlight without a pair of sunglasses! These are the kind of sunglasses you can keep in your car for any occasion. They look good and get the job done, and will go well paired with some of your new threads.

A pair of loafers that aren’t too constricting are perfect for this summer! These shoes can dress up any outfit while still feeling comfortable and casual. These versatile shoes can be used when dressing up, and when you want to add a little flair to your casual outfit.

Sure chinos are always in style, but we suggest pairing them with this summer’s fashion trends to complete the perfect look. Chinos are casual, but not as casual as jeans. Throw a pair of these on to look and feel good while heading out to meet some friends for drinks!

We’re into the neutrals this summer, but you can’t let your outfits get too boring! Plain colored shirts are perfect for this upcoming season, and last season. Spice it up with a little flair to your button-ups like this shirt from Urban Outfitters! The colored buttons add a trendy look to an otherwise basic shirt.

While we all need an ‘ole reliable watch, we also need to show off sometimes. We believe strongly everyone needs to add a sense of “boujee” to their outfit once in a while. This Fossil watch works perfectly as the flashy and classy asset to “boujee” up your summer styles.

Birkenstocks are a hit or miss. Not everyone can wear them the right way, but we encourage you all to try. Throw out your destroyed Nike slides and buy a pair of Birkenstocks whether they’re for trips to the beach, or to let your feet breathe with your casual outfits!

These here aren’t your everyday kind of sunglasses. We think everyone should have a pair of quirky sunglasses for when they’re feeling more fun than usual. You’ll definitely have people noticing you in these!

Longevity is a measuring stick for style. Wayfarer sunglasses have been shading men and women’s eyes while watching that measuring stick grow for decades. Their classic style – a bit thicker version of the aviator sunglass – has found its way onto faces since the 1950s. Their distinct, soft trapezoidal frame sets them apart from many other styles that try to imitate their widespread appeal. They have been around for decades, and they are here to stay.

A large reason for this is due to the Wayfarer’s unisex design. Women and men alike are universally drawn to their distinct shape and flattering design. From the formal setting to everyday casual wear, wayfarers are found on the faces of children, adults, celebrities, and anyone wanting to bring a little flair into their lives. If you are interested in designer Wayfarer sunglasses, here are some tips on which styles might be right for you.

Wayfarer Sunglasses for Women

Wayfarer sunglasses for women can be a great alternative to cat-eye sunglasses. Unlike the rounded shape of the cat-eye, wayfarers have a more horizontal, angled long brow frame. Some of the most iconic leading ladies have worn them, including Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, and Madonna.

With that kind of star power behind this style, you might wonder if you can successfully pull off the look. The short answer is a resounding yes. But before you rush out and buy a pair of designer sunglasses for women, take a look at these tips based on your face shape that will help you determine the style of Wayfarer you should search for.

If you have a square face, gently curved frames tend to be best.

Classic Wayfarers with a curved frame are ideal for diamond-shaped faces.

For round faces, a straight and square Wayfarer would be desirable. Make sure they are wide to make your cheekbones appear slimmer.

If you have a triangular face, look for Wayfarers with a detailed top brow rim to avert attention away from the jaw.

Wayfarers that cover much of the center of the face to help shorten its appearance are perfect for ladies with an oblong face.

Women with an oval face can wear nearly any Wayfarers, but make sure that they are sized appropriately for your individual face.

One other item to note: traditional Wayfarers are traditionally black or tortoiseshell, though new colors are also available. Neutral tones will go with more outfits, so try to stick with something traditional unless you truly want to set yourself apart.

Wayfarer Sunglasses for Men

Just as famous women have donned Wayfarers, men like Martin Luther King Jr, John F. Kennedy, and Bob Dylan have helped to made them desirable among men around the world. With the resurgence of vintage styles, there has been a rise in manufacturers making Wayfarer sunglasses for men. Many attribute this boom to Ray-Ban sunglasses. The Ray-Ban Wayfarer was one of the first to adapt modern technologies to the classic look and make them appealing to men today. Ray-Ban glasses are great, but check out these tips for purchasing your own pair of designer men’s sunglasses, even if they aren’t Ray-Ban.

Men with a square-shaped face should look for frames that have a mildly curved frame. This will help to soften the rigidness that some frames might have.

Wayfarers with a particularly angled shape would be better for men with a round face. This helps to slim the features of your face and create the illusion that your face is longer.

For those of you with a diamond-shaped head, classic Wayfarers are the way to go. When the original design of the Wayfarer hit the market, they were most likely designed for men with this face shape.

If you have an oval face, you will want to find Wayfarers that have a bulkier set of features. This will help to fill out your face and make it appear shorter than it is.

No matter the occasion, Wayfarers can find a way to help you fit in when worn properly. These suggestions will help you look as iconic as the people who made them famous.

Having precisely the right accessories can make or break an evening. Keeping all of our essentials together without being a burden is what we all want from our purses and wallets. But sometimes, it only takes a wristlet to get the job done.

You have been there. Sometimes, your purse is just too large and clunky. Other times, your wallet cannot carry everything you need for an evening. Because of these conundrums, designers created the wristlet, a versatile handbag ideal for many situations. They are great for so many things, including going:

Out to dinner. Hanging their purse from the back of the chair is neither the safest nor the classiest thing ladies do. And not every bar has handy hooks underneath to make our lives easier. The best option is to take matters into our own hands and use a wristlet when we go out to dinner.

On a date night. Whether it’s your first date or a night out with your husband, dragging around a purse can be a bother. Spontaneous adventures have to take a back seat, too, if there has to be enough room for your purse and valuables. If you are carrying a wallet, you’ll have a hand occupied the entire night. Best case scenario, taking a wristlet with you will help optimize your time with your special someone.

Ladies, shopping is sacred time. Being able to be away from work, family, and responsibilities for a little while should be stress free. Large purses create unnecessary bulk, forcing you to juggle them while in the dressing room. And they are one more thing to remember when you leave each store. A simple wristlet automatically stays with you at all times.

To the movies. Dark theatres should be a place to cuddle up to your significant other and enjoy the show. Setting your purse on sticky floors where unwanted intruders can easily access it is not a great recipe for a good time, and sitting with it in your lap is not a great experience, either.

Out and about. Active lifestyles are the norm. Work, play, home life, repeat. Balancing all of it can be a hassle without the proper accessories. A bag that can keep with you and all you have going on is vital to staying organized and keeping up with your busy schedule.

Wristlets can make an appearance just about anywhere. Due to their versatility, there are hundreds of types and brands of wristlets for women. But not all are made equal. You can find a Kate Spade wristlet, Coach wristlet, Marc by Marc Jacobs wristlet, and countless others. Designer wristlets abound on the internet, but these four have some qualities that set them apart – an added something extra to make your evenings out special.

Michael Kors Adele Double Zip

With a hand in all of the fashion industry, it is no surprise that we begin our list with a Michael Kors wristlet. Their multifaceted approach to their company has allowed Michael Kors to produce one of the premier purse/wallet combinations available today. What truly sets this wristlet apart – aside from its pebbled leather – is its three individual zippered compartments and dedicated cell phone pocket.

Michael Kors Jet Set Travel

Another model from the Michael Kors collection, this wristlet purse offers plenty of space for the frequent shopper to carry all of their cards. 17 card holders with several pockets make this wristlet wallet the only travel bag you will need. Its simple design may give the illusion of an ordinary accessory, but don’t let that fool you; this tasteful wristlet is perfectly sophisticated.

Fossil Women’s RFID Smart Phone Wristlet

When it comes to protection and security, there are few carry-alls that have as many built in anti-theft precautions as this Fossil wristlet. It is designed to keep would-be thieves from stealing information from your RFID credit cards. It is the epitome of stylish and smart in one safe bundle.

Fossil Women’s Wristlet Baguette

The final wristlet for women on our list is another Fossil design. This one is ideal for keeping the little things like lipstick, gum, and change for the parking meter handy. It is also big enough to handle all of those and still have plenty of room for your cellphone, ID, and credit cards. This little bag has all the room you need, without any of the excess baggage you do not want.

Wristlets do not take anything away from your outfit. Rather, they are the perfect addition of flair to your style. Keep everything you need in one perfect little spot, while maintaining your stunning appearance. That’s a win-win.

Women are often associated with felines. And why not? Female lions dominate the pride. There are plenty of realms in which women are at the top of their game, including fashion. And surprisingly enough, that is where these two queens of their respective species are mixing. Cat-eye sunglasses are beginning to dominate the world of women’s eyewear. That’s right. Cat-eye glasses, with their sharp edges inspired by classic design, are becoming the latest trend this season. Offering a modern version of vintage sunglasses, cat eye sunglasses are as sophisticated as they are fierce. Several designer sunglasses for women are being produced with this design in mind. Check out how some of your favorite brands are digging their claws into the world of cat-eye glasses.

Prada Women’s Gold Cat-Eye Sunglasses

Prada has taken their own cat-eye glasses to the next level; they are an accessory that stands proudly alongside many of its predecessors on the Prada line. These cat-eye sunglasses utilize a lightweight tortoiseshell and gold plastic to produce one of the most eye-catching shades on the list. Their design is unique to each pair, but their protective lenses are not. Blocking 100% of UVA/UVB rays, the glasses protect your eyes like a lioness protects her cubs. These glasses will be found driving down the Sunset Strip, A1A, or even Route 66. There is no adventure too great or mission too dangerous to have these trusted glasses at your side.

Gucci Brown Cat-Eye Sunglasses

Gucci can take nearly anything and make it stylish. When they tried their hand at cat-eye sunglasses, they perfected a look that would be simultaneously both classic and modern, something we all thank them for doing. Anti-reflective lenses are just the tip of the claw on these beauties from Gucci. A unique frame for a one-of-a-kind individual, these stand out among even other cat-eye sunglasses. The golden accents on the sides help to highlight the uniqueness of these sunglasses. Perfect for walks along outdoor promenades, cheering alongside soccer fields, or just a tour of your favorite vineyard. It would be wise to never leave home without Gucci’s take on this classic style.

Dolce & Gabbana Women’s Gold Cat-Eye Sunglasses

Like everything Dolce & Gabbana touches in the fashion world, their sunglasses are built for comfort and style. These particular lenses harken back to some of the vintage styles of the mid-twentieth century. Made in Italy, you know you are coming in contact with unparalleled quality when you place these on your face. Whether you are covering your face from the paparazzi or just trying to keep a low profile, these glasses were made for a life of luxury, but are accessible to those who only dream of living such lavish lives. Wrap your claws around a pair of these and taste a little of the life of a movie star.

Versace Women’s Black Cat-Eye Sunglasses

When it comes to knowing fashion, Versace tops the list. Their designers understand the importance of accessories complementing every outfit. They also know how to take a vintage design and perfect it for the contemporary fashion scene. Versace made these cat-eye glasses with the intention of standing out. Wherever you might find yourself, you will be the center of attention with these eye-grabbing shades.

When it comes to summer style and sunglasses, very few offer the same impact as the cat-eye. Prada, Gucci, Ray-Ban, Versace, and many others have created unique versions of this style of women’s sunglasses. Don’t be discouraged about the reputation of this design as being difficult to wear; indeed, when it first came out, it was limited to women with a precise bone structure. But there are so many current versions that you can find classy cat-eye sunglasses that will fit your face with that sexy, feline look you want. So channel your inner Audrey Hepburn and find a pair of the best sunglasses available for women. You could almost say they’ll be purrrfect.
